FRIDAY,MAY 2, 1879.
Col. Toggle lias returned from
Washington, bringing with him 72,
00 dollars, which ho collected for
the state of Georgia from the Uni

connected with the war of 1836

“The track of the owner is the best
manure the farm can have,” was the
reply of Judge Hiram Warner to his
old friend, General W. T. Wofford
some time since, when the Judge
remarked to the General that he had
not seen much of him lately. And
there was much of truth in the re
mark.

YES, GOING TO THE BAD.
On the State Road recently a druuken pas
senger offered the conductor some money to
pay his fare, and in reply to the question as
to where he wished to slop, said he was go
ing to hell. Ex-Governor brown, president
ol the road, being on the cars, lire conductor
asked him what to do with the passenger.
The Governor replied, “put him off at Carterg
ville, as that is the uearest station on the road
to the place he is going. ” — Monroe Adverti

On the accommodation train from
Atlanta some time ago, it was mid
night as the whistle blew for Dalton.
A passenger being hungry asked one
of the train men if he could procure
something to eat there. “No,” was
the reply, “every body is asleep
here.” Suggestively said the passen
ger, “In Chattanooga the saloons are
kept open all night. ‘ Yes, and in
hell the devil is up all night,” said
the car man. At 2:30, a. m., the train
arrived in Chattanooga. Carriages
were dashing through the streets,
string bands were giving entertain
ment at the ever open saloons, and
General Sherman was in town. Chat

OUR OLDEST CITIZEN.
The twenty second instant is the
birthday of Joseph Williams. He will
then begin his one hundreth year.
He is a native of North Carolina, but
lived in Hawkins county, East Ten
nesse most of his early life. More
than fifty years ago he came to Geor
gia. He lived a iong while at New
nan, and did much of the stone and
brick work, years ago, at Columbus,
lie remarked Wednesday that he
“was not hatched in the sun, but
had done as much outdoor work as
any living man in North America.”
Mr. Williams is one of the most
intelligent aged gentlemen with
whom we have converged. He iives
with his children iiere, and he
spends the greater portion of the
day at the store of his son and son
in-law—Stokely & Williams. “Time
about is fair pi ty,” stys the old man
in connection with the kindly care
taken of him. He is as ‘sound as a
dollar” and in perfect health, eats
three met Is a day, and had medical
attention once in a half century, and
then only had cholic Six weeks
ago he felt at night, after going to
bed, well, that he was going to have
an attack of paralysis, both his body
and mind being effected. Promptly
did he gel himself strait in bed, ex
pecting to be dead in a few hours at
most. Ho did not call any of the
family, as he did not care to disturb
them —all of his arrangements were
made. In 1811, he joined the army
of his Master for the war, aud
he had his armor on. Nearly two
thirds of a century he has been a j
Methodist. Has known Dr. Lovic
Pierce for years, and is live years
older than he.
THE EXPRESS.
We are not going to complain at
the refusal to share, with us, pub li
patronage. Our ciever sheriff see
proper to give his advertisements ex
clusively to our neighbor, and DiC
Felton, always on the alert at Wash-’"
ington, makes speei and request that'
advertisements to be sent out from
there be furni-hed the Free Press,
and as the representative of this
district, it is natural that such re
quests be granted. “To the victors
belong the spoils,” and our jolly
contemporary can feel truly gratified
that he is independent. Not a word
of complaint have we to offer to all
this. But in view of these facts we
mention to those who are not on
the victorious side that if they
don’t wish all to be our way
it is their duty to counteract,
this one-sided situation of affairs by
unstinted patronage. If it cannot
be secured without a bilier partizin
course toward those who have un
fortunately allowed their prejudices
as we think, to get control of their
judgments, then it will not be done.
Our enterprise is legitimate, and we
have hoped to make money by it,
but we state, candidly, that but for
the belief that wo could do some
thing toward conciliating the dis
cordant elements in this district, we
should not be engaged in this work. ,
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.
This important representative Dody
of the Baptists of the South will con
vene at Atlanta on Thursday, May
Bth. It will remain in session not
quite a week. As the Baptist main
tain that the church government of
the New Testament wa3 one of inde
pendent local churches, their conven
tion exercises no authority over
individual churches within it
bounds, and consequently its sessions
are quite brief, as compared withot h
er similar bodies which constitute
the highest church courts of their
respective denominations. Its con
sultations are confined to the subjects
of home and foreign missions, which
the denomination at large carries on
through the two boards of this con
vention, the home board located a
Marion, Alabama, and the foreign
board at Richmond, Va. The Rev.
W: A. Mclntosh, D. D., a native of
Georgia, is the secretary of the hem
board, and the Rev. 11. A. Tupper,
D. D., a native of South Carolina,
but for many years pastor at Wash
ington, Wilkes county, Georgia, is
secretary of the home board.
The Southern Baptist Convention
was organized in Augusta, Ga., at a
meeting which convened May Bth,
1845. Its constituents are all the
white Baptists within the Southern
States. These form the most numer
ous body of Baptists in the world
In the whole of the United States there
are 2,102,034 communicants. About
10,000,000 of the 40,000,000 of the in
habitants of the United States are
denominationally connected with
the Baptists. The Methodists have
about 15,000,000, and thus they and
the Baptists have twenty-five of the
forty millions, or five-eighths of the
whole population of the country un
der their influence. In the South
alone the Baptist have 1,493,257 com
municants, and of these 1,110,000 arc
whites. The number of persons in
the South denominationally connect
ed with them Is nearly one half of
the entire population. Georgia and
Y T irginia have.each more than one
sixth of these, or the two unitedly
have more than one-third.
It is e\ ideut, therefore, that the
convention about to meet at Atlanta
has no mean constituency, at least so
far as numbers are concerned. The
body of ministers and laymen which
have heretofore formed the conven
tion has been generally remarked as
one of great ability. The coming
convention will probably exceed in
this respect any of its predecessors.
Atlanta is the most favorable location
in which it has ever met. From five
to six hundred delegates will be in
attendance. It is probable .that no
State at the South will be without
representation there, The States
most contiguous to Atlanta will,
however, have the largest numbers.
This convention has foreign missions
in Africa, China and in Italy, The
Rev. Geo. B. Taylor, D. D., a native
Of Virginia, has charge of tho work
in Italy, and has his headquarters at
Rome. He will be at the Atlanta
meeting an 1 give a statement of the
facts connected with the Italian
work. Rev. T. P. Crawford, of the
China mission, will also be present,
and probably some others who have
been laboring at various missionary
stations in China and Africa.
Rev. Jas. P. Boyce, D. D., Presi
dent of the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary at Louisville, is the
Presideutof the convention. He has
occupied this position for the past
seven years, and it is quite probable
he will be re-elected by subseqmru
conventions for many years to tome,
as he is yet in the vigor of life, a man
of great intellectual power, and
much beloved by his people.
DR. McFERHIN AT CHATTANOOGA.
Reminiscences of Oltlcu Times.
Eager listeners were present at
the Market street Methodist Episco
pal church last Sunday to hear a ser
mon from that venerable minister,
Rev. J. B. McFerrin, D. D., and
agent of the Southern Methodist
Publishing house. Those who knew
him were anxious to hear the sermon
and more especially were those who
knew of his early life, as they hoped
to get from his own lips some remi
niscences of the Indians to whom he
preached, ‘by an interpieter, more
than fifty years ago.
The minister grew eloquent with
tiis theme, and dwelt upon ‘ a pecu
liar people” he entered somewhat in
to strictures upon concession in Chris
tian life; of how the Evil one slips in
and destroys the Christian comfort of
those who decide to make their reli
gious opinions secondary to any oth
er or who offer compromise to world
liuess in any repect. After comment
ing at length upon separation cf
those who are expected to be “zeal
ous of good works,” the preacher by
way of meeting any apology that
might be offered fur his earnestness
in ridiculing the silliness of buying
“four bonnets a year to keep up with
French fashions,” said, “I have a
right to talk to you. lam a Tennes
seean. In 1823 I stood on the rock
that overlooks your town aid I
preached in this valley to the Indians
before many of you were born
There was no Chattanooga then.
They say lam an old man. Well,
perhaps I am.”
He related that he had never gone
to the theatre, to the circus. He
knew nothing of card playing, etc.,
but all his life he had been a chris
tian. He professed religion at thir
teen, and he had enjoyed much of
sunshine, speaking as if the “grow
ing old” feature lie did not realize.
TALKING TO THE CHILDREN.
In the evening Dr. McFerrin talk
ed to the children. It was sure
enough a talk. His talking is al
ways interesting, and the impress
ions of that evenings lesson will be
treasured by scores of children and
older people.
A quiet and pleasant home is in
sured to all mothers that use Dr.
Bull’s Baby Syrup for their little
ones. It contains nothing injurious.
II \YES AND THE SOUTH.
The veto of the army bill effect
| ualiy doss away with all prospect of
; further co-operation between the
i president and congress aud the breach
may be considered too wide for
bridging. Our confreres of the dem
ocratic press are saying “I told you
so” already. Lest some of our pres
j ent re tders mistake us in our posi
tion on this subject we mention that
I we, for once, since the war favored
j revolution. It was in behalf of in
i augnrating the last president elect.
S That revolution we thought should
j begin at the north, and now we are
prepared to commend the sentiment
of our venerable statesman. Maj.
Mark A. Cooper (lor many years
prior to the war in the front rank of
representatives from Georgia at
, Washington) when he says that ‘‘Our
only hope is in Tilden”
But we are not disposed to join in
condemnation of Mr. Hayes. It has
been our fortune to know him per
sonally and to confer, cordially, with
him on the sentiments ot old soldiers
of the two armies and of the parties
in politics. In granting as much for
the democracy of the south he claim
ed that seven-tenth3 of the best peo
ple at the north on matters of
public welfare are republican. He
believed that if not elected, though
he did not say as much, it Was be
cause there was intimidation at the
polls and therefore accepted the de
cision of the electoral commission
with better grace than we were will
ing to allow. Let us not forget the
almost universal saying by our own
people that “Hayes makes us a bet
ter president than Tilden could have
made.” The truth is and we confess
it regretfully that Mr. Hayes has
been driven from his wonted course
toward the southern people —we
don’t like to compare him in any
sense with Grant but are. reminded
of Mr- Stephens sentiment concern
ing that mau which is, t > this
day, that Grant wanted to do right
but his party would not let him. We
may siy with equal veracity that
Hayes has been deterred by the de
mocracy from carrying out his con
servative policy and we are disposed
to pity the misfortune rather than
to condemn him.
BLLI ARP’S “SOCIETY” LECTURE.
Macon Telegraph & Messenge.i.
As has already been well sta
ted in our local columns, the effort
of this gentlemen was, in every
sense most admirable. “Bill Arp”
lost no laurels by his visit to Macon ;
but, on the contrary, added a fresh
chaplet of flowers to the tiara which
encircles his brow. With the single
exception tnat in the remote portions
of the crowded house, for lack of a
more sonorous voice, and never hav
ing been trained to public speaking,
portions ol his lecture could not be
heard with perfect distinctness, the
great humorist carried everything
before him. A breathless attention
was bestowed upon every word that
escaped his lips, broken only by ap
plause, and an occasional cry of
“louder,” from the audience.
Maj. Smith by his searching ex
posure, and inimitable delineations
of society in all its reputable phases,
has given fresh evidence of his pro
found knowledge of human nature.
Still, the purity of his thoughts
and their perfect freedom from all
that could possibly impinge upon
propriely or offend the most sensi
tive ear, show that his investigations
have never been extended into the
infamous haunts of crime and sin.
He chats pleasantly of the incidents
constantly occurring in one’s every
day experience, even and anon, strik
ing, we venture to say, a chord in
the heart of each one of the delighted
auditors. There was no escaping
from Bill Arp. His keen shafts pen
etrated between the joints of the har
ness and transfixed every one—now
causing unbidden tears to dim the
eye which contrasting the glories of
the past with the wretched realities
of the present, or awakening a smile
when some droll, but hardly ac
knowledged truism was pronounced.
Never did a production abound
vvitli a greater variety of salient
thoughts, which were constantly
pointed and illustrated by the most
opposite incidents and anecdotes.
Many of these bore the ear marks
of his own personal experience.
The temptation is very strong to en
ter into full particulars and daguer
reotype some of the richest of those
deliverances, but it would be like
stealing the thunder of the genial
humorist, a* lie may wish to charm
o'her audiences with their future
rendition, it woul'd aiso be unkind,
nor could it lie possible to do him
justice.
The style of Major Smith is pleas
ant and easy, without any attempt
at fulsome display. Still when the
subject warrants, his utterances are
botli graphic and touching. Macon
honored the Memorial Association
and its distinguished representative
by the magnificent audience which
greeted the latter. Long may the
love of brave deeds be cheerished
and the memory of the fallen con
federates live in our hearts.
There is in Atlanta, for trial by
the military, Pryor N. Coleman, for
the murder of a Miss Beilin Tenes
see. Whi'e a “home guard,” four.,
teen years ago, he told a companion
robber to shoot her, it was done, and
the young heroine expired from the
shot, while trying to rescue her fath
er from their brutality. The vil
lain who shot her was riddled with
bullets. Coleman escaped, but has
been in custody five years, and three
times sentenced to death. He is
row to be tried by Court marshall.
“Warren Akin wants a house
keeper.”
SENATORIAL STATISTICS.
Washl ugton Poet.
The change that the senate has
undergone has not robbed Mr. Ham
lin of the proud distinction of being
the oldest member of the body. lie
has reached the three score years and
ten, and still goes without an ov r
coat. The youngest senator is Mr.
Bruce, who is only thirty-eight.
Next to Mr. Hamlin, in point of age,
is Mr. Morrill, who is sixty-nine,
and Governor Houston comes next
at sixty-eight. Messrs. Thurman,
Chandler and Kirkwood were all
born in 1813, and Groome is the most
youthful senator, except Bruce, he
being forty. Senators Wallace, Pen,
dleton and Logan are apparently
sensitive as to their age, as they do
not allow the congressional directory
t o tell it. Ohio is the mother of
seven senators, viz:
Voorhees (both born in Butler coun
ty), Pendleton, Allison, Plumb,
Windorn and Sharon. New York,
Virginia and Kentucky are all even
with Ohio in the number of senators
who first saw the light in those
states. New York can boast of the
production of Teller, Hill (Col.),
Paddock, McPherson, Conkling, Ker
nan and Cameron (Wis.); Kentucky,
of Walker, Call, Williams, Jones,
Vest, Saunders and Maxey; and
Virginia, of Farley, Bruce, Thur
man, Coke, Johnston, Withers and
Hereford. Tennessee and Maryland
comes next with five each ; Morgan,
Houston, Garland, Bailey and Harris
having been born in the former
state, and Davis (III.,) Davis (W. Va.)
Kirkwood, Whyte and Groome, in
the latter ; Kellogg, Edmunds, Mor
rill and Carpenter were born in Ver
mont; Blaine, McMillan, Wallace
and Don Cameron, in Pennsylvania;
Gordon, Hill aud Lamar are natives
of Georgia ; Ingalls, Hoar and Dawes
of Massachusetts; Chandler, Rollins
and Bell of New Hampshire; Booth
and Burnside Indiana; Logan and
Slater Illinois; Hamlin and Grover
of Maine; Ferry, Cockrell, Randolph,
Anthony, Ransom and Vance, But
ler and Hampton, Bayard and
Saulsbury, Eaton and Platt are all
natives of the states they now repre
sent, Altogether, there are thirty
four senators who represent their
mother states. Senator Beck was
born in Scotland ; Jones, of Florida,
in Ireland ; and Jones, of Nevada, in
England.
Of the thirty senators from the
south (including Kellogg) fifteen
were in the confederate army, viz:
Morgan, Walker, Gordon, Williams,
Jonas, Lamar, Cockrell, Ransom,
Vance, Butler, Hampton, Harris,
Maxey, Coke and Withers. Of the
other fifteen, Garland, Hill and Vest
were in the confederate congress.
Logan, Plumb and Burnside are the
only ex-union soldiers whom the
great north has sent to the senate.
Allison figured on the Governor’s
staff and helped to raise troops, and
Hill, of Colorado, skipped off to
Europe. Kellogg claims to have re
signed ajudgship to fight for the
union. Governor Randolph, of New
Jersey, though a democrat, devoted
his time, means and influence to the
organization of troops to save the
union, and Blaine contented himself
with buying a substitute. Twenty
one of the present republican sena.
tors held bomb-proof positions dur
ing the war, ranging from seats in
Congress and on the bench down to
seats in the state legislatures. They
are: Booth, Platt, Allison, Kirk
wood, Hamlin, Blaine, Dawe3, Hoar,
Ferry, Chandler, Windom, McMil
lan, Paddock, Saunders, Rollins,
Bell, Conkling, Anthony, Edmunds,
Morrill, and Cameron of Wisconsin.
Senators Butler and Hampton have
but a single leg each. General Burn
side has the finest whiskers, and Lo
gan has the loudest voice, but it is
hard to tell whether Dawes or Teller
can clean out the galleries quickest
when they get up to address the
senate.
BILLS PRESENTED BY DR. FELTON.
A bill to appropriate $20,000 for the
improvement of the Coosa river be
tween Rome and Wetumpka ; a bill
to authorize the refunding to W. B.
Farrar, of Whitfield county, of taxes
illegally collected from him in 1877,
a bill for the relief of William Hedg
peth, a bill to compel the national
banks to recognize and receive the
standard silver dollar, a bill for the
relief of the estate of Nehemiah Gar
rison, assignee of Moses Perkins ; a
bill granting pensions to the soldiers
and sailors of the Mexican, Florida
and Black Hawk wars; a bill to
make the trade dollar a legal tender,
a bill for the relief of Balaam A.
Bridges, of Bartow county ; a bill
granting a pension to Jacob Snite, a
soldier of the war of 1812 ; a bill to

upon the pension roll; a bill to pre
scribe and establish a form of oath or
affirmation to be taken and sub
scribed by members of Congress be*
fore entering upon the duties of their
office; a bill for the relief of L. P.
Gudger, and a bill to allow farmers
and planters to sell leaf tobacco of
their own production to other per
sons than manufacturers, without
special tax.
The First National Bank, Chat
tanooga, has recently, through its
cashier, TANARUS, G. Montague, taken an
active part in the prosecution of a
swindler, who procured money from
various parties on letteis of credit.
Savannah has the bother of the fel
low, and the case is certainly strong
enough to justify having him try
his hand in the Dade Coal mines.

Daniel J. Splanc, Pres, J, L. Thompson, Set,
Tiie property of this Company consists ot
twelve mines and mining locations, located in
Lake County, Colorado, in the vicinity ot
Leadville, upon all of which extensive work
has been done, in all cases exhibiting true
fissure veins, good pay streak, and well defin
ed lodes.
Three of the leading mines are well opened
up and have at the lowest computation over
TEN THOUSAND TONS OF ORE IN SIGHT;
by May Ist, the Railroad now tinder construc
tion will be within a short distance ol this
property.
The Company proposes to sella portion ol
its stock at $1.50 per share for the purpose of
more completely developing its mines, and
for the erection of works lor the treatment of
its ores.
Application for the stock may be made to
the oilice of the Company, Gl Broadway, New
York.
N. B.—The Mining Record, of New York, the
highest mining authority in this country, says
Feb. Ist, 1879. The principal owners in this
company are hard working men who by their
own labor have uncovered large bodies of ore
which they now wish to extract and send to
market. Our readers will do well to make a
venture with these worthy men, litis money
will probably be returned to them twenty
fold. The business management has been
placed in the care of Mr. J. L. Thompson, an
ollicer of high standing in one of the largest
aud best banks in the city. A prospectus giv
